We did a science experiment to do with friction. We had to move jelly from a bowl to a paper towel using chopsticks. It was really hard! Only some of us could do it, then we put oil on the jelly and that made it harder but we still enjoyed it. We learnt that if you have more grip on a surface then it doesn’t slip as much.

We have been learning about friction with Mrs Spowart. We carried out an experiment, using our shoes, and discovered that the more friction there is, the more you need to pull to make something move. In this case, our shoes! We learnt that there are two types of friction. The friction between two things that aren’t moving is called ‘Static Friction’ and the friction between two moving objects is called ‘Dynamic Friction’.
